Godparents Information

Please read below to requirements of a Godparent and fill out the form below. We encourage parents and Godparents to watch this video:
What are the requirements for a Godparent?

According to Canon Law 874, Godparents must be:

1) at least sixteen years of age

2) fully initiated in the Roman Catholic Church. This means they have received all three Sacraments of Initiation, which are Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation.

3) Godparents must also be active Catholics in a state of grace.

4) Godparents can be single, but if they are married or living with a significant other, they must be married, or have their marriage recognized, by the Catholic Church.

Canon Law also states you are required to have at least one Catholic Godparent, but can have up to two. If you choose only one godparent, you are free to
choose a male or a female. However, if you wish to have two godparents, there must be one male and one female.

Can a non-Catholic serve as a Godparent? For non-Catholics, we recognize that parents have other Christian role models in their lives. A baptized, non-Catholic may serve as an Official Christian witness to the baptism, only if there is proper Catholic sponsor who fully meets all requirements of a godparent. The non-Catholic who is selected as a witness should be an active and participating member of his/her church community.

Can someone serve as godparent by proxy (stand-in) if the godparent is unable to participate in the baptism ceremony? If a godparent cannot attend the baptism ceremony, a proxy can stand in the place of the missing godparent. The name of that person will be entered as a proxyin the SacramentalRecordBook, along with the name of the missing godparent.
